People with vision: Introducing Tonie Botes

We are delighted to welcome Tonie Botes to the position of Sales Manager at Lew Geffen Sotheby's International Realty Helderberg.

Tonie is a strong, driven individual who holds B Com and MBA degrees and has 38 years of experience in the banking industry. He has extensive experience in the property industry as a result of years of involvement with his wife's career, who in her own right is an award-winning agent. His previous roles in the banking industry also provided him with vast exposure to the residential, commercial and agricultural property industry.

As a provincial manager with one of South Africa's largest banking institutions, Tonie has a wealth of experience in growing, leading, supporting and training large teams and is passionate about leading people and inspiring them to reach their potential and achieve great results. Tonie adds "I believe that only one realty brand gives you the feeling that you're in the presence of the worlds' best. I am excited to announce that I have joined the Sotheby's International Realty network. This will be a transformative experience as I grow the team in the Helderberg Franchise with support from this iconic brand and marketing powerhouse".

The Helderberg office has recently been revamped to create a professional working environment, conducive to supporting our top agents. Lew Geffen Sotheby's International Realty Helderberg is part of the Winelands franchises owned and managed by Dr. George and Mrs Chris Cilliers.

This highly successful group of companies has 8 offices throughout the Winelands, onsite offices on 4 lifestyle estates and highly successful teams of agents that are regional and national award winners. They are highly respected operators in the Sotheby's International Realty, National and International Realty network. We are extremely confident that Tonie will put together a highly successful team of agents in the Helderberg. In competitive market conditions we believe that 24/7 agent support, training and encouragement is vital and we would invite any experienced agents who feel this is lacking in their current position to make an appointment to meet with Tonie and hear what this iconic and quintessential realty brand can offer you"
